| Do your son a favor and and stop giving him a consequence for what goes on at school, and stop lecturing him. Treat him with respect, pride and courtesy, and listen to him calmly if he wants to discuss what went on in school. Give him serious consequences, without the lectures, for transgressions a... |

| As a general rule, people with Asperger's probably shouldn't have children, particularly women. All the traits of Asperger's are the polar opposite of what is required to be a nurturing empathetic parent. If Asperger's is indeed the correct diagnosis, declining to be a parent would be desired and e... |

| My son has similar tendancies, he talks non-stop, can be defiant, and is very concerned when other people don't follow the rules, but forgets that he needs to as well. I have found that being very strict and consistant, while communicating with him has helped. think of an iron box, with soft velvet... |

| thank you for all your responses. Its difficult to tell the whole story on what my son has been through and how I parent him and such a few words.
